Screen Research Centre

Description

Screen Research is an interdisciplinary group working in screen studies, a broad field that incorporates film, television and digital media technologies. The theme explores screen research in its broadest sense, incorporating comparative studies of historical periods and contexts; a theoretical understanding of screen media; and methodologies including the analysis of text-based and archive material and practice-based work.

The research theme comprises colleagues from across the University, including the Departments of Archaeology and Anthropology; Classics and Ancient History; Drama: Theatre, Film, Television; French; Geographical Sciences; Historical Studies; History of Art; Italian; Music; Politics; Hispanic, Portuguese and Latin American Studies; and Russian.

Screen Research provides a forum for the development of research into key areas which are already established as individual and group themes of research expertise. These include:

• national/trans-national cinemas
• film stars and their reception
• theatre, literature, television and cinema
• classical antiquity and cinema
• cinema, biography and autobiography
• colour film aesthetics and technologies
• film and colonialism
• gender and sexuality
• audiences and reception
• the impact of digital technologies
• adaptation
• historical studies/methodologies
• screen media and music
• online analysis and annotation tools for screenworks (JISC-funded STARS tool)
• place, space and small screenworks
• practice-as-research.
